Broccoli Pakoras

Broccoli Pakoras

My love for Indian food started in high school, and one of the first few dishes I ate were vegetable Pakoras - basically fried veggies (for those who are familiar with Japanese Food, it’s like the tempura of India). These are super easy to make, and are a great appetizer. Even if you’re not a fan of Indian spices, these are super mild….not to mention this recipe is also gluten free!

In a large bowl, combine Chickpea Flour, Crushed Garlic, and all the spices. Mix together thoroughluy.

Add in the water until it forms a batter. Dip the broccoli florets into the batter. Meanwhile heat up your deep fryer to 350 degrees. From the batter, drop the florets directly into the fryer and fry til a nice golden brown color. *don't add too many at a time, you don't want them to start sticking together!

Once a medium golden brown, remove the florets from the oil and set on a drying rack so that any excess oil can drip off. Sprinkle with a little salt while they're still hot!
